be6e4b6f3c LibPDF: Store indirect value refs in Value objects
IndirectValueRef is so simple that it can be stored directly in the
Value class instead of being heap allocated.

As the comment in Value says, however, in theory the max bits needed to
store is 48 (16 for the generation index and 32(?) for the object
index), but 32 should be good enough for now. We can increase it to u64
later if necessary.

477e3946e5 LibPDF: Add support for stream filters
This commit also splits up StreamObject into PlainTextStreamObject and
EncodedStreamObject, which is essentially just a stream object which
does not own its bytes vs one which does.

8c745ad0d9 LibPDF: Parse page structures
This commit introduces the ability to parse the document catalog dict,
as well as the page tree and individual pages. Pages obviously aren't
fully parsed, as we won't care about most of the fields until we
start actually rendering PDFs.

One of the primary benefits of the PDF format is laziness. PDFs are
not meant to be parsed all at once, and the same is true for pages.
When a Document is constructed, it builds a map of page number to
object index, but it does not fetch and parse any of the pages. A page
is only parsed when a caller requests that particular page (and is
cached going forwards).

Additionally, this commit also adds an object_cast function which
logs bad casts if DEBUG_PDF is set. Additionally, utility functions
were added to ArrayObject and DictObject to get all types of objects
from the collections to avoid having to manually cast.

a8f5b6aaa3 LibPDF: Create basic object structure
This commit is the start of LibPDF, and introduces some basic structure
objects. This emulates LibJS's Value structure, where Value is a simple
class that can contain a pointer to a more complex Object class with
more data. All of the basic PDF objects have a representation.
